I can't wait to bring him to a lake so he can really swim!</p> <p>@Chillybear: that's hilarious about him being the lifeguard!! My dog was just more interested in getting everyone else wet. Especially if I was standing on the edge, he would make sure to shake and get me all full of mud and water! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-990191 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 12:02:31 +0000 alphagam84 990191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog loves the water-but only when her feet can still touch the bottom! I don't think she realizes she knows how to swim-one of these days I need to wade out in the water with her to get her to deeper water to force her to swim. I think she would love it if she knew she could swim! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-990163 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:52:33 +0000 mrskc 990163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute! Labs are naturals in the water. My black lab looooves to swim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-990085 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:29:43 +0000 Chillybear 990085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So fun! when we go to my parents house we cant keep our Lab/hound mix out of the water. He thinks hes the life guard and has to "rescue" anyone that jumps in off the diving board </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-990071 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:26:07 +0000 Sunshine1810 990071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute!!! I wish my dog loved the water. I have a Golden Retriever so you would think that he would love it, but he doesn't :(</p> <p>I think part of it is because when he was younger, DH kind of forced him to go in the pool and he got scared. I swear he still remembers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-990043 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:21:16 +0000 edelweiss 990043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aw look at him--he's a natural! </p> <p>we haven't tried to take our pugs swimming because they would probably refuse to touch the water. or drown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-990025 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:19:00 +0000 BabyMats 990025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it!!

My dog loves to "swim" too. And by swim I mean he goes into the water up to his nose and stands there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-989860 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 10:36:23 +0000 Torchwood 989860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I know! But she couldn't figure out how to steer, so she just swam in circles. I had to go in the pool in my clothes and get her. ^_^ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-989858 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 10:35:20 +0000 MrsBrewer 989858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LizSmith: awww!!! poor thing must have been scared!!! Thank goodness all dogs pretty much know how to swim already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-989844 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 10:32:14 +0000 Torchwood 989844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog's only experience with water is the time she was running near a pool at night and because of some shadows, thought the sidewalk continued where it didn't and ran straight into the water. She freaked the eff out, but really, can you blame her on that one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-our-dog-swimming-for-the-first-time#post-989832 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 10:24:37 +0000 MrsBrewer 989832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have LO's yet, sooo my pets are my "babies" :-)</p> <p>DH and I took our 9 month old chocolate lab/blue heeler mix swimming on Saturday. Kind of "swimming" it was in a stream near our house in a park. The stream was probably about knee deep, but probably up to his head in other areas! We are so proud of him! He's normally very timid around new things, but when we were walking along the path, he darted, and ran right into the water!!! he loooved it!! :-) </p> <p>Does your dog/dogs like water?? </p> [attach=1855/13/mr2dh2.450x600.Swimming.jpg] [attach=1855/13/mr2dh3.450x600.Swimming-2.jpg]
